I actually thought this was a police tool for breaking in doors.
So according to comments it’s a post driver. So far I dug holes and put my poles in. This tool seems practical for soft soil, but what do you do when living somewhere with rocky soil or with dry clay soil?
Just in case you’re serious, this is in fact a tool for driving metal fence posts like round posts for a chain link fence or t posts for a garden/cattle fence. You slide it over the post and drive it down to hammer in the post. Way easier and safer than using a sledge.
Huh TIL. I’ve put up many posts, used post hole diggers and augers of various kinds. Never saw anything like this. The soil where I live has lots of clay, this device looks futile
My fucking back tensed just looking at this shit. Never helping plant signs again. Though it was cool the signs were made to use one of those instead of just stabbing it in the ground like those weak ass wire frame ones.
Yeah, doesn’t involve burying or getting into the actual ground itself from anything I’ve seen about it.
Using that phrase, to “plant” a sign would be to lay it on top of the ground. So it wouldn’t be wrong for a large weighted sign I guess, but the pictures about pouring something into the ground.
You said plant your feet, that has a specific definition, which is different than the one you’re using now for planting.
Language is tough. But yeah, no planting a sign is not a correct term for what you would do. Like at all, no matter how you try to stretch definitions.
Loosen your grip right before it hits, not enough that you lose control but enough that you’re not going to take much of the impact. It might take an extra hit or two, but it also might mean that you can push it down a little bit harder as well knowing that you don’t have to absorb the impact
